Description
NAR ST06NW5

A two-storey, rubble built and slate-roofed farmhouse, 21m east-west by 8.0-9.0m, adapted from an early 16th century house of some quality, thought to have built following a contested inheritance, which may account for apparently archaic features.
To the north of the house is an altered gatehouse (Nprn37490), amongst current farm buildings (Nprn300679), it being suggested that the interveining space formed a courtyard, about 75m square.
